I did it much like the thule999. The trick is really to run a soldier over with a car and get his weapon. Beware, if your driving is bad, russians will treat you as an enemy. Dead policemen have guns, but sometimes their car is so badly damaged that the guns cannot be extracted. Russians don't have RPGs with them, so you must use satchels. And whatever I tried, I could not get weapons to the next level.

I will probably discard my Windows altogether by late 2004. And if Flashpoint 2 would not work on Linux, I'm not gonna buy it. Wine could help, but the performance is doubtful, and certainly it will never work 100% with Wine. Sorry guys ...

Well, well, well ... The common problem with all patches is that they break more than they fix. My $.02: Maybe it could be possible for BIS to release nightly patches, to allow fanatic users to beta-test them ? And continue to release stable patches for other audience. This may look extreme, but that's the way most open source software is developed today. Of course, OFP is not open source, but I didn't say nightly patches should be "source", they might be binary as well.

As I understand, there is no such 3d glasses that can work with ATI Radeon card on Windows 2000. Am I right ?

Bizon magazine is named just "Bizon" in the action menu. You can see something like that: ... Drop SVD Dragunov Drop SVD Dragunov Mag Drop Bizon Drop Bizon ... Actually, one of them means "Drop Bizon Mag" and acts accordingly. But you must always guess which is which.

I ordered 2 and 3 to withdraw behind the city (but within firing range so they can shoot the enemy), put my squad into BMP and ordered it to hide behind the forest. Then I put all mines we had, placing them in the same area where the ammo crate is (there is no time to go anywhere else). Also put satchel charges (but alas, I later blown them up too early and no enemy was hit). Now I just hided near the sea and waited for the enemy. Mines and our tanks did their job perfectly.

In Resistance mission Hostages I've noticed strange behavior. After setting hostages free, we must attack Russian base. But my RPG soldiers refuse to engage the BMP there ! I said Weapon RPG, Target BMP, Stand Up, Engage BMP but nothing helps, they report Negative. I am sure they see it (they told me that) and distance is very small, so what's the problem ? I can't remember such problem in Cold War or Red Hammer. I noticed that if I send an RPG alone toward the base, he can engage. But gets killed after that soon. Seems other soldiers get stupid also, nobody shoots enemies, even the sniper.
